Sound Of Sirens

“On April 15, 2008 in San Francisco, Green Works brought together an English reverse graffiti artist and a critically acclaimed documentary filmmaker, to create an environmentally friendly work of art and a film about a philosophy of clean.”

“San Francisco’s Broadway tunnel is a highly traveled thoroughfare in the heart of the city. Over 20,000 cars, trucks, and motorized vehicles pass through it per day. Its walls are caked with dirt and soot, and lined with patches of paint covered graffiti from days gone by. It set the perfect canvas to create a beautiful work of art showcasing the talents of reverse graffiti artist “Moose”, and the power of Green Works plant based cleaner.”

update: keep in mind that this just a campaign for an us major brand! A nice one though…

The very detailed graphics are part of an art/graphic-design project from C-Lab - Columbia Laboratory for Architectural Broadcasting. “It’s meant to rethink waste management infrastructure, complete with ironic and colorfully alluring designs for private trash cans.”

Residents of Minneapolis gaze at it at Walker’s - the rest of us visits C-Lab online and/or reads the interview with Jeffrey Inaba (founding director of C-Lab) at BLDG.
